Description

“Goodbye, Li Qiao” tells the story of four senior high school students who were on the verge of collapsing due to their respective family problems, estrangement with their parents, sufferings and irreconcilable difficulties. However, because of a message left on the bus, they became friends by accident, comforted each other, and walked together for a short time.

The novel uses multiple narrative perspectives and a first-person perspective to tell the story of the rifts in the families of these four teenagers. Some parents are naturally flawed, easily prompt to anger and become s*aves to violence. Some are forced to suffer by life and have nowhere to pour their bitterness, driving them to vent their sufferings on their children. Some parents separate halfway and transfer their disappointment to their children.

Four teenagers who are in apprehensive and confusing predicaments. Their similar painful experiences made them quickly become friends. During the summer vacation after their college entrance examination, they enjoyed the rare happiness in each other’s company. Starting a college life separated them from each other after being on the same road for a short time. Ten years later, the appearance of the mysterious number 170503 revealed a secret past.

The background family is crucial to the growth of teenagers, and some people may take a lifetime to heal from the injuries they suffer while growing up. The novel profoundly reveals this social issue and should arouse the attention and thinking of society and parents. The mutual understanding and friendship between peers with the same fate add warmth to the novel, which is both warm and healing.
